Arno’s Vale BS4

Arnos Vale BS4 (also written Arno's Vale) is an area near the centre of the city of Bristol, England.

It is best known for the historic Arnos Vale Cemetery, which occupies 45 acres in the neighbouring Knowle ward. The cemetery, closed in 1998, it has been kept open by volunteers since. Arno's Vale Cemetery is part of the old Arno's Court Estate.

It is one of only four estates, in Bristol, that still have the original estate house standing (now known as Arno's Manor Hotel). The remaining estate land includes the cemetery, the hotel and Arno's Court Park.

Arno's Court Park connects two geographically separate areas in Bristol (Knowle & Brislington), separated by a very steep hill within the park. The park has views across Bristol and a very active support Group (Arno's Park Action Group).

What remains of Arnos Estate, which includes the Parkside Hotel, Brislington, Arno's Court Triumphal Arch and Black Castle Public House) is situated beside the A4 road two miles (3 km) south east of Bristol city centre. The main roads to Bath and Wells run through the area.

The area has lively communities that care passionately about both the park and the cemetery, regular visitors enjoy both.
